Note:
Priscilla Kelly probably died about 1857.
She does not appear on the 1860 Census with the family, and by 1870
Benjamin is listed with Sarah.
I believe Clarissa
Johnson is Benjamin's child. I think she was born about 1857,
about the same time Priscilla died.
Perhaps they Pricilla died during or shortly after Clarissa's
birth.
